Poor Trevor. My heart just about broke for him the other night. It was bedtime and Ariel was in her bed and they usually draw or read in bed before falling asleep. She had her new notebook that grandma had given her and she showed me a page on it. "Who wrote in my book?" she asked. In the book was a note 'I love you very muche!' I said I ( Read more... )

Oh, I am still here and alive. This has been one of those way busy weeks that leaves me so drained by the end of it. We turned in the keys to the rental today- kind of. We painted it, then realized after the paint dried that it was a COMPLETELY different color than the existing walls. So back again this morning to touch up some of the bad spots ( Read more... )

They are sooo cute! I went in to drop off xmas gifts for the teachers and cookies for Trevor's holiday party just a few minutes ago. I happened to get there right as Rachael's class was filing by the door for lunch. They saw me and all started bouncing around yelling "Rachael! Your mom is here! Rachael's mom, HI!!!!!" Then one little girl ran ( Read more... )

Rachael had her P/T conference today. It went AWESOME! She is excelling in school much more than I realized. Much like Trevor, I am mainly concerned that she is doing well socially and having fun in school. But apparently Rachael had some sort of testing for phonics/reading/spelling, that type of stuff. I didn't even realize they tested the K ( Read more... )

Teaching the Grace Art class was so fun! i could totally go there everyday and so it. I think it's a bit of a learning curve. I get no direction on how to teach the class. Our subject was Maurice Prendergast and I get an email containing a PDF of the information for all grade levels. It's up to me to pick and choose what would be appropriate ( Read more... )

It was another good busy day today. We sent off my mom's birthday cards this morning. Then we hit the library to reshelf books. It was actually fun! I told her I would come every Friday and help her out. She had TONS of books to go back on the shelves. When I got there Rachael was just finishing up at the library. I was a total distraction ( Read more... )

I checked out our cats records and realized that a rabies vax does not last for 3 years, like I thought. It's some other vax that does. So I scheduled Chaos and Shadow for their rabies vax updates. They go in tomorrow. Then I called the shelter about 'Bubba" and they could not find my app and think the shelter manager probably has it and ( Read more... )

I have a cold. I fought the battle with it and the cold won. Bleh. I feel sinusy and my eyeballs hurt and I am coughing up gunk. Fun times! I am totally addicted to the Warriors series. Yes, it a series for kids, but I am totally hooked. I finished the latest book in 2 days. It a series about a clan of cats, for those who don't know. It's ( Read more... )

After a fabulous morning yesterday, Trevor was back to being hugely anxious and crying again this morning. I think part of the trigger was Spore. Ray had loaded up Spore, this new evolution based computer game. It's pretty cool... you start out with a single cell creature and care for it and it evolves. You get to choose how it looks as it ( Read more... )

Argh. I kind of knew it was coming, but didn't want to see it. I kind of got this feeling that Trevor was humouring me by going to school. Like 'Yea mom, ok. Sure. I'll go today. But do I have to actually KEEP going?" That kind of feeling, though he never outright said it. Yesterday WAS an anxiety attack of sorts. He was tired anyway, and ( Read more... )
